We are joined by everyone's favorite tweet thread boi, @yungneocon, to talk about whether Soviet-style central planning is any more or less capable of addressing ecological crises than capitalism. We also discuss our favorite leftist policy guy, Matty B.

In this corner, weighing in at 210 IQ, representing the infallible modern future sight of the ghost ideology, Ryan "the greatest epic genius of all time" Salisbury!
And in this corner, weighing in at 209 IQ, representing 150-year old pseudo-intellectual pig slop, Kris "pretty good but not quite as good as Ryan" Nivens!
Ding ding ding!

Ryan had to go to a wedding this weekend, so we couldn't do an episode this week. Instead we're releasing this old episode about corporations as organs of the state. I haven't listened to it since February, so it could be awesome or terrible. Let me know, unless it's not good, in which case just tell me you liked it anyway.

The first of our Capital as Power (CasP) series, where we begin with why CasP is needed and how it defines capital. If there was anything that was unclear or that you think was incorrect, you can DM me @HandleOfRy.
